clipping. – “Keep Pushing”
The experimental rap group clipping. are working their way toward a new cyberpunk-inspired next year, and they started that rollout in September with a single called “Run It.” Today they’ve got another new track out, the alluringly understated “Keep Pushing.” The production on this one does beautiful things — bringing a contagiously burbling synth line in and out of the mix, eventually dissolving into gorgeous classical music — and Daveed Diggs matches that skill with bars both nimble and clever. Check out this sequence:
Try to keep the pulse and the tempo
Just ’cause it’s automatic don’t mean that it is simple
Look, pimp, don’t ever panic when a hoe is a nympho
You push so many keys that it’s resembling Gitmo
Remember that place? Nobody else does
They like the past erased, so they can get buzzed
Listen below.
